Recently I was talking with someone about how fucked up females are. I’m sure there are a few men that are just as screwed; however, for the most part – it’s females. We’re pretty much a doomed gender….here’s the reasoning: We accept negative a lot easier than positive. Someone can …

I’ve toiled with writing this; however, this blog is for me, to express myself and to put my little opinion on the map. So here goes.. probably one of the longest posts ever and my ADD definitely shows through…look, there’s a squirrel – hope you can follow my points. I’m …

Some have often wondered if my son is a Marine, yet, those who know the story know it’s much deeper than it seams Was I by chance a widow of one who once wore Blues, did I help him as he polished buttons and spit to shine his shoes OR …

I find myself frustrated that my reactions to you are due to my knowledge of all; however, she strolls through life completely unaware.

A friend of mine posted an image on social media depicting small children riding and/or standing on dogs, with a reference as to how this was not OK. All too often we hear of a dog attacking a child; however, not much time if any is spent on what was …

Oh, it was a festive St. Patrick’s Day in St. Paul, MN – capitol city and my hometown; however, like any other large gathering – there are a few words of advice I’d love to share with you. It’s no secret that many people go in hopes of coming across their …

Good! If you were someone who took a dog into your home only to have it surprise you with dirty paw-prints or medical bills which you cannot afford OR it simply was TOO much for you to handle.. and now, you’re ready to get rid of the dog…. PLEASE DO; …

Unless you live under a rock, you know why this group exists….. #KoreanLivesMatter is all inclusive, unless you’re an ass, then, you can’t join! No one really cares what your ethnicity is; however, if you do, then we’re probably not the group. There’s nothing wrong with being proud of where …

Never show her how to live without you. Call, even if you do not want to. Tell her how you feel, if she has to rely on what was once said…. she may seek to find someone who will say something now. Believe that she could leave and treat her as …
